Day 2 Day at the beach or pool and dinner at Lulu’s

Day 4 Departure
Arrive early in the morning at Hilton Sandestin Beach, Golf Resort & Spa. Once you get settled, change into your bathing suit, lather up the sunscreen and head to Big Kahuna’s Water Park. Let the kids run around and play while you relax by the pool or float down the lazy river. When everyone is tired, go back to the hotel to relax and eat dinner with a view at the hotel’s Barefoot’s Beachside Bar & Grill.
Hilton Sandestin Beach, Golf Resort & Spa sits on a stretch of the coastline and beach, so spend the day relaxing on the beach, swimming in the Gulf of Mexico or hanging by the pool; the possibilities are endless. For dinner, head to Lulu’s for great food, live music, games and more.
Crab Island is a sandbar in the middle of the ocean and is a popular destination. Rent a boat and head out for some fun. Crab Island can get a little crowded and rowdy, so head there on the earlier side for smaller crowds. Spend the morning swimming in the clear water, jumping off the boat and visiting the floating restaurants and bars. Once it hits early afternoon, head back to the hotel to shower and get ready for a sunset dolphin tour.

I wish this day could last forever!” my windswept 9-year-old exclaimed, his voice soaring over the Mediterranean. He gripped the helm of a Bali 4.6 sailing catamaran off the coast of Marseille, his sun- bleached hair whipping in the salty breeze. The scent of the sea mingled with the aroma of warm baguettes drifting from the Côte d’Azur shoreline. Our captain, a seasoned sailor, subtly adjusted course, letting my son feel the exhilarating pull of the wind against the sails. As the waves lapped against the hull, I realized this was no ordinary vacation — this was freedom, unfiltered.

Sometimes our memories of trips to certain destinations and cities around the world become synonymous with a specific dish or drink we had there — whether it was sipping an Aperol Spritz on the Italian coast or cooling off with a gin and tonic in London, a good cocktail in particular elevates a destination.
